SAP Labs to Open in Russia

As centers for research and innovation, SAP Labs play an important role in the development of SAP products and technologies. Existing locations are in Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria, France, USA, Brazil, India, China, Canada, and Israel. With the new SAP Labs CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) located in Skolkovo, Russia, the network of SAP Labs will become 15 strong.

SAP Labs CIS will focus on research and product development in the areas of in-memory databases, advanced analytics, and mobile network security. It will also drive software localization for customers in key CIS industries such as oil and gas, mining, public sector, and banking. The newest SAP Lab is also intended to strengthen relationships with local customers, partners, and potential employees, a crucial part of SAP’s plans for growth in the Russian and CIS markets.
